Are you the wife of an addict?

 

 

 

The “partner” of the addict faces a life of hell. If you have a loved one who has a drug or alcohol problem chances are you have tried to help and found your efforts fruitless. Dealing with someone who is destroying their lives and causing harm to those they love is often a frustrating and lonely experience. Individuals in this position often suffer side effects that include:

  •  Social Isolation
  • Stress related illnesses
  • Confusion
  • Memory Loss Guilt Shame
  • Fear Sleeplessness
  • Weight Loss/Gain

At Last Door we realize how the addiction of the primary client has affected those who love him. We recognize the need to involve loved ones actively in the recovery process and offer support and education to them. It has been said that addiction is a family disease, hence recovery itself is best accomplished from a family perspective.

We offer groups designed to education, support and include the wives/partners of addicts.
